Published: June 17, 2022, 3:20 p.m.

b'From Duckman to Dicktown, this week we\\u2019re covering cartoons\\u2026 for grown-ups. These animated series have an adult sensibility, and they don\\u2019t all feature obscenity, graphic violence, or sexual acts\\u2026 though some do! Shows like The Legend of Vox Machina, Harley Quinn, Hit Monkey, and Invincible have an adult audience clearly or primarily in mind, while others, like Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law or The Tick require a deep well of cultural references that might leave children (and many adults) baffled. We discuss the overall trend, highlight shows past and present we love, and puzzle out how some shows (good and inexplicable) even came to be.'
